The MainWP iThemes Security Extension is a premium add-on designed to centralize the management of the widely used iThemes Security (now known as Solid Security) plugin across all your connected Child websites.
This extension streamlines the security management workflow for agencies and professionals who manage multiple WordPress sites.
The primary advantage is the ability to monitor and control security settings without needing to log into each client site individually.
Centralized Configuration: Mass configure all your Solid Security settings (including Global Settings, Brute Force Protection, 404 Detection, Hide Login Area, etc.) across your entire network from the MainWP Dashboard.
Individual Site Customization: While you can set general security rules, you have the flexibility to override those general settings and fine-tune specific security options for individual Child sites.
Security Monitoring Widgets: The extension adds specialized widgets to the individual site overview pages in your Dashboard:
Solid Security Status: Shows all security issues grouped by priority level (e.g., medium, high) detected by the plugin.
Active Lockouts: Displays any users or IPs that have been actively locked out by the security plugin.
"Fix Now" Button: Next to detected issues, a "Fix Now" button provides a shortcut to the specific setting to resolve the issue for that site.
Plugin Management: You can quickly Update, Activate, and Deactivate the Solid Security plugin on your entire network directly from the MainWP interface.
Pro Version Integration: The extension works with both the free and Pro versions of the Solid Security plugin, allowing you to manage the Pro features (like Version Management) if you have the appropriate licenses for your Child sites.
To use the MainWP Solid Security Extension effectively, you need two things:
MainWP Pro Subscription: The Solid Security Extension is a premium add-on included in the MainWP Pro plan.
Solid Security Plugin on Child Sites: The Solid Security plugin (the main plugin) must be installed and activated on every Child site you wish to manage. The MainWP extension acts as the remote control for the plugin installed on the client sites.
By centralizing security management, this extension helps you maintain consistent, high-level protection across your entire client base with significant time savings.
